This is a fun way for children to work on early counting skills while also creating a portrait of themselves. First, after you read the book, "Ten Apples Up on Top" by Dr. Seuess you can have your children make their own face on a paper plate. Then let them write the numbers 1-10 on pre-cut apple shapes, and help them staple them in order so that they re all up on top of their heads.

Optional Math Activity: Apple Flashcards

If your children are starting early math, this is a fun way for them to start learning early addition problems. Take some apples that have small equations written on one side and the answers on the other. Print your apples from a template, cut from construction paper or pick up a pack of pre-cuts from the dollar store.

Then perhaps while you're playing "fruit stand" or "store", you can talk with your child about how these are very special apples, and if you want to have them for your store, you have to figure out each one's secret number! Then let them go through the apples and add to their stores collection.
